The one good thing about the Philadelphia Flyers‘ lackluster defense is the veteran presence of 38-year-old Kimmo Timonen. Timonen has found a lot of success in his past 15 years in the NHL and has become a staple to the Flyers franchise since being traded by the Nashville Predators in a package deal with Scott Hartnell.

Timonen — like the rest of the defense on the team — has faced a lot of criticism after this past season’s disappointment. However, fans have to also take in consideration that the veteran is on the verge of retirement.
